The Grey-headed Canary-flycatcher is a charming and active little bird found across Asia, easily recognized by its bright yellow underparts, grey head, and olive-green back. It is a highly mobile insectivore.
Where to spot
Widespread from the Himalayas across South Asia, Southeast Asia, to parts of Indonesia, inhabiting broadleaf forests, woodlands, and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Look for its small size and bright yellow in the mid-story and canopy. It is very active, so spotting constant movement is key. Listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round, though some populations may make altitudinal movements. Most active during the day, especially mornings.
